    Hi Scott,

    > whence the illusion?

    Pirsig makes it clear that the "self" in the MOQ is an intellectual
    pattern, not an illusion. From Lila, chp 5:

    "But that the quality is low is absolutely certain. It is the primary
    empirical reality from which such things as stoves and heat and oaths
    and SELF are later intellectually constructed."

    Whence the intellectual construction of self? Like the origin of all
    constructions in the MOQ, from Dynamic Quality.
